We are pleased to announce our November ISIE webinar will be on Friday, November 10th from 7:30-8:30 am EST.
Andreas Ciroth and Chris Mutel are both leading experts in the field of open source life cycle assessment software, and they will discuss the ongoing development of free and open LCA tools and modelling possibilities.
OPEN LCA: TOOLS AND TRENDS
Nov 10, 2017, 7:30 – 8:30 AM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Registration required.
Andreas Ciroth will introduce the open source framework of OpenLCA (developed by his company GreenDelta), from its start 10 years ago to its current state. In addition he will provide an outlook to “what’s next” in open source environmental assessment tools and reveal the value of open source software in today's field of sustainability work.
Chris Mutel will examine several different types of open access LCA databases, including their distinct outputs, strengths, and weaknesses. He will also share his experiences in creating the Brightway2 framework, the good and bad decisions he made during its development, and how it offers new possibilities to those who want to break the limits of conventional LCA.
